Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1656

The corporate directors who had previously sided with Tyler Nelson were now drenched in cold sweat. They had heard the recording of brotherly slaughter with their own ears and seen Isabel's tragic state with their own eyes. These repeated plot twists and bloody accusations completely shattered their faith in Tyler Nelson. Who would dare entrust their lives and the corporation's future to a psychopath who could kill his own brother and torture his wife into madness? But they also knew Martha couldn't possibly handle the current crisis. Given the massive internal bleeding Nelson Corporation was suffering, they desperately needed a truly formidable, iron-fisted leader who could command the room. Almost instinctively, the directors began shifting their feet. They silently backed away from Tyler Nelson, slowly gravitating toward James's side.

Tyler Nelson sharply picked up on the movement around him. Glancing over, he realized he was rapidly becoming isolated, and his humiliation instantly flared into unhinged rage.

"What are you doing?" Tyler Nelson's face twisted grotesquely, finally ripping off his hypocritical mask as he screamed like a madman. "Get back here. Whoever dares to walk over there will not leave this room alive today."

His remaining Summer family supporters and bodyguards found themselves trapped on the back of a tiger. Weighing their options, they clenched their jaws tightly. With a series of sharp clicks, they drew their pistols, aiming them squarely at the defecting directors. The atmosphere instantly tightened, the air heavy with the scent of gunpowder ready to ignite.

Right at this critical juncture, when everyone was holding their breath, James slightly narrowed his dark eyes and cast a sidelong glance at Captain Tyler. With just a single meeting of the eyes, Captain Tyler understood perfectly. He rested his hand seemingly casually on his holster, but with a flick of his finger, he unfastened the lock and covertly chambered a round one-handed. The black grip of the gun was left completely exposed.

Meanwhile, Isabel, having just been released, was swaying around the table. Her mental world had long collapsed, reverting her to the mindset of a toddler. She couldn't comprehend the lethal tension filling the room. Her only thought was finding a way to play and relieve her boredom. So, when she saw the men around her pulling out those black toys, her eyes lit up. Glancing around, her gaze landed on the exposed grip of Captain Tyler's gun. It was so close, practically begging to be snatched. Isabel giggled foolishly, lunging forward and yanking the gun straight from his waist. The heavy, real firearm felt like the best toy in the world in her hands. Gripping it with both hands, she aimed it directly across the room at Tyler Nelson. Without a second of hesitation, instinct took over, and she pulled the trigger.
